I live in Saint John's Hill Grove and this cat is always around, looking in the cat flap this morning at 6.45 for instance. He's a friend of my cat (her only friend in fact). He is rather mangey and very tentative. Definitely not an alpha male. I don't ...

Anyone know what has happened to the 219 and 319 bus routes through Wandsworth? In particular the changes to accommodate the three-month road works project in and around Trinity Road. The authorities have removed all my favourite bus stops in both ...

Thank you Jo M. But I think you mean that the 219 & 319 now turn LEFT, when heading south, from Bellevue into St James Drive, stopping at Old Hospital Close, and then onward as normal. When heading north the 219 follows the usual route along Trinity ...

I left two large sacks of unwanted clothes outside my front door this morning - partially hidden-for collection by a recycling company. When I checked at 11 a.m. They had gone so I naturally assumed they had been collected. Imagine my surprise when an ...

Joanne that was a very well worded response and I was essentially thinking along a similar vein. If something is unwanted then I am grateful to anybody who takes it or wants it and usually no good deed goes unrewarded.

Yes I agree. And if someone needs a doormat more than me, well then they must be VERY much in need and they are welcome to it. I have replaced the stripey Ikea one with a rather kitsch one from the market with wreaths of flowers and "Welcome" in florid ...

I have just returned from Kew Gardens. What a brilliant experience made even better by the intelligent spacing of trees, so that it was possible to admire individual trees. How different from what Wandsworth has done on the open space opposite me. ...

I was looking for an email address for Wandsworth's tree people in order to forward a link to this discussion. I did find this: http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/downloads/505/tree_management which seems to imply that they have no plans since 2013 for any ...

I have rehomed a RSPCA rescued puss and am looking for these items. I can buy but would rather recycle unwanted items. Please PM me with phone number if you live locally and what to get rid of catty accessories. Thank you

Can anyone recommend a good reasonably priced plasterer please? I would also like to have recommendations for someone to fit an IKEA kitchen. A few people have offered their services on Streetlife as kitchen fitters - but I really would like a ...

Hi Roz, I'd say that's good advice from Tony. I too have a stack of VHS cassettes, which I'm planning to take up to Oxfam. You'd be surprised how many people still play them. I even have a portable TV in the kitchen with a VHS tape slot! In any case, ...

VHS/betamax/ etc are analogue magnetic media. DVD is digital optical media. To transfer from one media to another media, will degrade the image and sound in the conversation process. Transferring or copying from one media to another (called media ...

Hi Hayden What time would suit you? I'm due to collect the van in the morning and have some minor stuff to do around in Mitcham. Would you prefer morning or early afternoon (1-2pm) for me to collect? Have also sent you a text! Cheers Jo

Hi All, Ronald McDonald House Tooting has a family fun day on 19th July. This should be really good fun and what a fantastic charity to support. This is their website. See you there I hope. http://www.rmhc.org.uk/our-houses/tooting/

Hi all, Can you please give me the local low down on estate agents? I lived in Wandsworth until a couple of years ago so have a fairly good idea but i'm sure there's been new places pop up since and good/bad/ugly experiences with many! I am looking to ...

Many years ago I used to leave my dog tied outside the shops, as most people did in those days, it was safe. But now I would not leave my beautiful mongrel anywhere. Stolen dogs are sold but also used as bates for dog fighting which must be the reason ...
